Many ways to play and adapt this including bar chords and more of a lead feel. Open chords here for simplicity
Note especially these Cmaj7 Em7 and Am7 versions - other ones sound wrong.

No chord played till the C on "of" but C goes with the start of the song,
or even as an intro, if you prefer to play it that way.
Standard tuning, no capo
C Cmaj7 C7
Afraid of catching on fire
Em7 F C Dm
It pulls the blood down from my head
C Cmaj7
And still I am just an animal
C Am7 F E D
And all of my parts must be fed
D
Funny how the lines so easily fill
G F
When you're living with a muddy head
D G
Slide down the hill
C Cmaj7 C7
Afraid of undertow
Em7 F E Dm
It turns my heart, my head and everything I think I know
C
The waves carry it away
Am F E D
I'm lost at sea and I have no oar to row
D
And there's no way to know baby
G F D G
The motion of the sea
[Break] (vibrato on most notes)

You say you'll catch me when I fall
Em7 F C Dm
Maybe baby I just need to hit the ground
C Cmaj7 C7
And if you love me too hard
F C Dm
I may end up making the same old sound
D
Just don't be afraid, baby
G F D G
Afraid of losing me
